Description
|
|
"You are going back to the time of the Birth of America when the colonists were beginning to feel like Americans. Some colonists no longer felt that they were British citizens since they were forming a new home far from England. They began to build a unique culture and form new ideas of how they wanted to govern themselves. Who were some of the people who helped create this identity? You and your partner will become experts on one person. You will convince the rest of the group that your character was THE AMERICAN OF THE YEAR because he or she contributed the most to America's identity."
